Re: Thoughs on a Small-Medium Sized Car

Solitaire Automotive deal with a variety of prestige brands in SA, and a friend of mine's brother is a mechanic for LandRover which comes under the Solitaire umbrella. He says if we're looking for a Golf to stick to a diesel/manual as that combination has proven its longevity. I'm also not going to go as far as saying VW's are unreliable. He has however mentioned that the TSI engines are rather complicated and there has been problems with some, and when a DSG goes kaput, it's expensive especially out of warranty.
This does make me think twice about going for a VW, but there is a lot more good wrap about them than negative. Like Nic85 with the Polo GTi! Nice car.
